Time and time again I hear people
complain about romance being too sweet. On heaps of review sites I see
the same words: story was too sweet. I say, what's wrong with that? If
that's what the story is supposed to be, how can it be anything else?
Too
much our lives are filled with hate and hurt and bad things happening
every day. Just turn on the news, there's your proof. Why do you think
romance sells so well? Because it's needed. Sweet is needed.
Sure,
we need real life stories. Stories of the human condition, of trials
and tribulations. But you know what? Every now and again, it's great to
sit down and read a sweet story. One that makes you feel warm inside.
Here's
a cute video showing just that and done to Taylor Swift's song "You
Belong With Me." Awwww. Now I need some hot choclate and marshmellows
:-)
I am Mark Alders, writer, intactivist, post office worker, and all round nice guy...except when someone steals my chocolate! I am a proud Australian, and as such use different spellings and have some weird phrases, too. Hey, perhaps that's why I write some damn weird shit!
I can't change who I am.
So when you read one of my books, enjoy the ride, but please don't say I can't spell. I spell how I damn well feel like it! LOL Naw seriously, I spell like an Aussie...do forgive me because we are a breed unto ourselves. Where else can a place have 11 registered public holidays and no one has any idea what they are for except to have a BBQ and down some beers!
If you do find a genuine error in my work, please let me know so I can speak with my editor...also, as an addition to that, offer chocolates as well. Lots of chocolates.
*hugs*
